Hi everyone, A few weeks back I asked the list for cultural competency training recommendations, either online or in person. and have compiled all of the responses I received for everyone here: · Try Marla Ehlers, Assistant Director, of Grand Rapids Public Library. She did something like this for MLA several years ago. Here is a presentation by her here: https://mostatelibrary.watch.more.net/#/videos/c41237bd-7aa0-49cd-9cfb-4c42a... · Taryn Petryk *tpetryk@umich.edu <tpetryk@umich.edu>* (Michigan Ross Director of Diversity and Inclusion) · I recently took Balancing Books and Social Issues: Homelessness and Trauma put on by Elissa Hardy, a social worker in the Denver Public Library system, and while the webinar specifically talked about people experiencing homelessness, she also did a great job talking about the language we use about patrons and how harmful it can be. I highly recommend it. https://infopeople.org/civicrm/event/info?id=818&reset=1 · https://amplifycolectivo.com/nonprofit-small-business-and-corporate-training... · *http://us2consulting.com/ <https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fus2consulting.com%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR37U-oul3ahrxsDlYqNL-AoawQKsR3pCI-p06myb1EHPhhwA2mnF8dQTzs&h=AT3mMJsClFOZPmFpZ68icsx1oP0l1rh8JHJsyrCns0s2tK906Pp7NDHh15_tg3NUZ2s6SLSPk3lrXokm56OR1qd9as4JIXXBILSttYtLjNiehkdrEaPJof5wJjxr7vvZ79w>* · WebJunction offerings are free.
